Council adopts sections of Waverly Police Department policy manual
Summary
Waverly council adopted multiple sections (400–412) of the Police Department policy manual—covering patrol functions, bias-based policing, crisis response, ride-alongs, hazardous-material response and rapid deployment—by resolution; second and third readings were dispensed and the resolution passed by roll call.
The council unanimously approved Resolution 48-2026 to adopt newly created sections (400–412) of the Waverly Police Department policy manual. The sections approved cover patrol functions, a bias-based policing policy, briefing procedures, crisis response team protocols, ride-along rules, hazardous-material response, hostage and barricade incidents, response to bomb calls, civil commitments, citation releases, foreign diplomatic and consular representatives and rapid response and deployment.
The resolution was read into the record and the council dispensed with the second and third readings after at least five members concurred, followed by a roll-call vote. Chair noted the manual sections are attached as exhibits to the resolution; the resolution states it takes effect at the earliest date allowed by law. Council did not discuss operational details such as training schedules or implementation timelines during the recorded discussion.
